mr. mark, From my experience, press releases don't move stocks that much no matter who they are. The biggest creater of press releases, IMO, is Microsoft. They make COMS seem very quiet in comparison. And, the releases don't do anything to MSFT's price. Once thing that's interesting, is that COMS does have an incredible amount of products, just like CSCO. I read the Boardwalk editorial this weekend, and it was mentioned that CSCO just about has to have a web presence to sell products, because it's just too hard to do with a Catalog. Makes me wonder if all the products ever get used. Some of the press releases are hype and some aren't. The way I look at it, is even if the products is GREAT, it still has to prove that it generates profits. Therefore we have to wait 'till earnings reports, or other crafty methods to determine concretely generated profits, as probably some of the other COMS posters are able to do. Joe
